CHICAGO – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Michigan State Police,
Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division announced today
that $4,043,286 in federal funding has been made available to
Northwood University for costs related to the state’s response to
the severe storm and flooding event under the federal disaster
declaration of July 9, 2020.

This funding will reimburse Northwood University for costs to conduct
emergency protective measures, which included responding to severe
storm and flood damage by pumping water out of damaged buildings and
beginning a campus-wide remediation process.

“FEMA’s Public Assistance program is an important resource to
communities after disasters,” said Kevin M. Sligh, acting regional
administrator, FEMA Region 5. “The University’s quick actions
protected the facility, students and faculty from the dangers of the
severe storms and flooding in May 2020 and helped the campus recover
after the disaster.”

“The quick action taken by Northwood University in response to
severe storms and flooding are steps that allow our communities to
recover quickly from disasters,” said Capt. Kevin Sweeney, deputy
state director of Emergency Management and commander of the Emergency
Management and Homeland Security Division. “The FEMA reimbursement
funds will help offset the expense the university took on as a result
of its excellent response efforts.”

FEMA provides a 75 percent federal share of eligible reimbursable
expenses for this project. The eligible cost for this project is
$5,391,048.  

FEMA’s Public Assistance Program provides funding to local
government jurisdictions and eligible private non-profits for the
repair, replacement, or restoration of disaster-damaged infrastructure
as well as costs incurred for debris removal, disaster cleanup and
emergency actions taken to protect lives or property.  To learn more,
